    Very impressed with the results on my latest track. This little poem was one of my favorites to write and now that it's officially a song, I love it even more! Can't wait for the next!
    Thank you, Killian!

    Killian was great to work with from start to finish and communicated every step of the way. This project was very personal as it was a tribute to my late father. Killian poured his creative soul into it as though it were his own and I am so happy with the way it turned out. Thank you so much for the terrific work!

    Killian's acclaim as a top producer on Sound Better is well-deserved! Not only was the end product exactly what I had hoped for, Killian was extremely patient throughout the process of me trying to communicate the sound treatment I was after. The remix he created is layered and dynamic. Thank you, Killian, for your dedication and for pushing the production to its full potential.

  24. A: I work with a lot of singers/writers on Sound Better.

  33. Q: What's your typical work process?

  34. A: My work process starts with listening to the song or references several times and feeling the vibe. I then come up with a game plan of how I can help bring the song to the next level. I love to add my own taste/vibe to the track while understanding/maintaining the artists vision. It is all about team work!

  35. Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

  36. A: They ask if their track can be played on the radio or signed by a big label. I say yes sure!! Let me help you to get it to that level

  37. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  38. A: I make a lot tracks from start to finish... Artists will send me the basic song idea, let me know what they are hoping to achieve and i help them get to the finish line. I also mix and master fully produced/recorded tracks to a "Radio Ready" standard. A lot of times i will also help them get their music in front of publishers/labels and managers through my contacts here in Los Angeles.

  39. Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

  40. A: That having more instruments and tracks means better sounding songs/mixes. Its all about doing whats best for the song! Less is sometimes more but then again sometimes MORE IS MORE!! It's all about the song!

  41. Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

  42. A: I like to find out what music they love and what vision they had when they created the song! This is by far the most important thing!
